Harold
Newton: The Original Highwayman
Gary Monroe, 2007
Harold
Newton captured the beauty of natural Florida while shaping the
notion of the Sunshine State as an attainable Paradise. A lively
but enigmatic figure, Newton left countless oils as he traversed
the state during his forty-year career. Not only is he the most
popular of the Highwaymen, but the one that the other of the group
hold in the highest esteem. Harold Newton's legacy is a supreme
contribution to the popular image of Florida as Paradise. It's an
enduring testimony that constitutes him as a major, hitherto unrecognized,
Florida artist.
